Dearie (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

pet

hon

'dearie' is the definition.
(I know that dearie can be written as pet)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pet that I've seen before include "Favourite pupil" , "blue-eyed boy?" , "Tamed domestic animal" , "Favourite, favoured one" , "Loved domestic animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
